Enough with the music metaphors and the theme of not understanding Morton's deep intellect.
Move on. New metaphor and quit your whimpering. Type in the 3rd person and relate everything to movies ala Mary Catherine Gallagher... or something. I know you can do it Morton you have stepped up before.

And the Gardener and the Pee stuff have run their course. You can make more fun of me as a teacher. You have not used that excessively. I am asking you to extend your horizons Morton. You have come through before. New material, new style.

I get overly excited and make a fool of myself. And I have this strange belief that everyone really has a natural interest in the way the world works. It just has to be brought out. So I like doing demonstrations and labs and asking lots of what if questions. If the teacher asks a what if I now do this, after doing a demonstration, (changes the demo a bit) and the kids can predict what should happen, and indeed it does happen, one knows their model of the way the world works is decent. So I do another what if. And it gets quite fun when the what ifs involve experiments that are counterintuitive. Then they see what you see (only better sometimes which is most exciting) and everyone gets very happy. So I have fun. I like my job. The only way I feel like I a molding anybody, is just bringing out the natural curiosity that already exists. I dont try and mold. I just like kids to ask questions about why things are the way they are. Not just simply look at some physical event, and not ask why.

Hey ..that's pretty good! Molding was a bad term to use on my part. I should have taken physics,but I didn't.I read the book Earth,Universe and Atom ( like a physics books for idiots) and like it very much. It's good liking your job and being a good teacher.Too many don't...I think.

Ah don't thank so. I am in disguise and have not met anyone here to date. I'm pretty doggoned attractive and don't want jealous males attacking me because their females are attacking me. Why do you think you met me? Is Hossy trying to pretend he is me again?

Oh you.....g'wan. The truth is when wearing round sunglasses I am laughed at as people always say I look like the dead guy from Weekend At Bernies. But the intelligent ones say I look like George Clooney.
